Method for providing an indication of the exact search hit within a large universe of contextual information

摘要

A search system obtains a search result comprising an entry. The search result is based on a set of search constraints. The search system generates a hit index based on the search result and each constraint in the set of search constraints. The hit index includes identification information of an element associated with the entry that caused the entry to be included in the search result. The search system updates the search result to comprise an indication of the element associated with the entry based on the hit index.
